Information And Eligibility:
The Brave of Heart Nursing Scholarship was created to support the next generation of nurses by reducing the financial barriers associated with nursing education. Administered by Scholarship America, this program provides substantial, renewable financial assistance to students pursuing pre-licensure nursing degrees at accredited institutions across the United States. The scholarship was established in response to the critical need for well-trained nurses and aims to help students successfully complete rigorous nursing programs and enter the healthcare workforce.

This scholarship is open to students enrolled in or accepted to Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs that lead to initial licensure as a registered nurse. Both full-time and part-time students are eligible, although award amounts may be adjusted based on enrollment status. Funds are paid directly to the student’s school and may be applied toward tuition, mandatory fees, and other required educational expenses associated with nursing coursework.

The Brave of Heart Nursing Scholarship places a strong emphasis on supporting students who demonstrate academic readiness and a commitment to completing their nursing education. While specific GPA thresholds may vary by application cycle, applicants must be in good academic standing and meet all institutional requirements for progression in their nursing program. Financial need may also be considered as part of the selection process, depending on available funding and program guidelines.

One of the defining features of this scholarship is its flexibility. Multiple application cycles are typically offered throughout the academic year, allowing students to apply at different points in their educational journey. In many cases, awards may be renewable for students who continue to meet eligibility requirements, maintain satisfactory academic progress, and remain enrolled in an eligible nursing program.

By offering meaningful financial support, the Brave of Heart Nursing Scholarship helps students focus on their demanding clinical and academic responsibilities without the added stress of excessive educational debt. This program is especially valuable for students balancing coursework with clinical rotations, work responsibilities, and personal obligations. Recipients gain not only financial assistance but also recognition through a nationally administered scholarship program dedicated to strengthening the nursing profession.

Students interested in applying are encouraged to carefully review current cycle requirements, gather transcripts and enrollment documentation early, and submit all materials by the stated deadlines. Because funding availability and eligibility details may change from cycle to cycle, applicants should regularly monitor the official program page for updates and announcements.
